HORSE RACING ROUND ROBIN BET
Let’s first imagine that you back these three horses as straight singles and they all win:

Returns: £18.50
(£1 @ 7/1 = £8, £1 @ 4/1 = £5, £1 @ 9/2 = £5.50)
Overall profit on the bets: £15.50
Now, let’s see what happens if we combine these winning selections as one Round Robin Bet (remember how many bets in a round robin – our stake will increase to £7 initially):
